32 weeks and 3 days!



We made it another week! We had great appointments this morning. I freak out when they weigh me, it just keeps going up and up. I have gained 28 pounds so far!!! OMG
The girls are getting so big though so thats good! Ramsey is head down now and she weighs 4 pds 9 ozs and Evie is so low we cant see her face in the ultrasound anymore!! She weighs 3pds 11 ozs. So can i take off 8 pds for them??? haha
They were rolling all over the place this morning, normally they are sleepy like there mom at these early appts! There kicks and movements are starting to hurt. We had a false alarm on Tuesday. I was having sharp pains in my upper stomach and back but when they did the ultrasound you can see that Ramsey is pressing hard on the placenta and that is what i am feeling. They hooked me up to a monitor and i wasn't having any contractions, so that was good.
They are still saying that i can do more at 34 weeks, yeah!! I am already starting my weekly appointments so we will go again next friday and set a date for the induction. It will be around 37 weeks so only 4 weeks max!! They said because they are already a good size they will probably come on there own soon!! AHH We are getting excited!!
Thank you so much for your prayers,visits,food,phone calls etc over the past 14 weeks. I cant believe it has been that long. I certainly did not think we would make it this far. We are so grateful. God has really watched over me and my girls.
We are coming up on Catherine Graces birthday, April 6th. We think about her all the time and know that she is watching over us. I don't even feel like i can complain about what has happened to us with this pregnancy because these babies are perfectly healthy and doing great. Bed rest is no fun, but with what we have been through i would do anything to bring these girls into the world. We can only give God the glory for these twins, they certainly came out of nowhere. Of all the times i questioned God when we lost Catherine Grace. To know then what i know now. He is in complete control and knows exactly what he is doing. My doctor told us when we found out we were having twins that it reminded him of the story of Job.
JOB 1:21 "Naked i came from my mothers womb and naked i will depart, the LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised"
JOB 42:10 "After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. The LORD blessed the latter part of JOBS life more than the first."
We have been grateful for great doctors and family and friends. We love you all
